DFL Super Cup: Bayern Munich beat Dortmund 3-2 to lift fifth trophy

Bayern Munich lift DFL Super Cup trophy after 3-2 win over Dortmund

Bayern Munich lift DFL Super Cup after defeating Borussia Dortmund 3-2 at the Allianz Arena

Joshua Kimmich scored the winning goal as Bayern Munich shrugged off concerns about fixture congestion to beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 and lift the German Super Cup on Wednesday.

Dortmund fought back from 2-0 down to level the score, before the two goalkeepers made the difference.

Bayern's Manuel Neuer showed superb reactions to palm away Erling Haaland's shot when one-on-one with the Norwegian striker. Dortmund's stand-in keeper Marwin Hitz could only parry Kimmich's shot in the 82nd minute and the midfielder stretched to flick in the rebound while falling.

For Bayern it was a morale-boosting recovery after losing 4-1 to Hoffenheim on Sunday to end a 32-game unbeaten run. It also marked the third win in a row against Dortmund.

Bayern has played for five trophies since coach Hansi Flick took charge in November and won them all, but all that success has made for more fixture congestion in the already packed 2020-21 season.
